@jerry48 While the treatment protocol in my case was not a conventional one, it was effective and all credit to the oncologist.
However, the decision to start Rituximab maintenance seems probably motivated by the fact that the M Band isn't zero, which is the target set by the oncologist, based on conversations with him. Surprisingly he isn't too concerned about the following:
1. What are my **IgG, IgA and IgM levels** now?
2. What is my current **B-cell count/CD19 or CD20 level, if it has been measured?
I need more clarity before I agree to any further treatment because of risk of infection and will schedule a consultation for next week.
